He still lives in Louisiana today. $37 Advance. $42 Day of Show.

Sat, Dec 15. Parsonsfield. Folk rock favorites known for their rich harmonies, vibrant songwriting, and energetic live performances. This quintet, praised for making “the most jubilant and danceable indie roots music this side of the Carolinas” (NPR), will perform a stripped-down, intimate show, breathing Americana rock into their favorite holiday tunes and sprinkling their own songs with holiday flair. $25 Advance. $27 Day of Show.

Thurs, Dec 20. Paul Bielatowicz (of Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy). Paul Bielatowicz, guitarist for Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy, returns to the Narrows for a special solo show that combines music and film into one stunning performance. $22 Advance. $27 Day of Show.

Sat, Dec 29. Ward Hayden and the Outliers (formerly Girls Guns & Glory). Their love for early rock ’n’ roll, true country, raw blues, and pretty much any kind of authentic American music branded them as anomalous – and electrifying. Since that time they’ve barnstormed far beyond their Boston hometown, playing honky-tonks, beer joints, and more recently concert venues throughout the U.S. Rolling Stone described them as “modern-day Buddy Holly plus Dwight Yoakam divided by the Mavericks.” $23 Advance. $25 Day of Show.

Sun, Dec 30. Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds. Known far and wide an the impossibly big voiced leader of Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds, singer Arleigh Kincheloe has made an astonishing leap forward with Sister Sparrow’s new LP, GOLD. The Baltimore Sun says, “Arleigh Kincheloe has one of the biggest voices in the business. Prepare to be blown away.” $27 Advance. $30 Day of Show.
